SHARKS in JAWS (1975)

Movie aFISHionados

It took us three episodes to get here, but we finally discuss the most notorious fish flick of all time, Jaws. We talk sharks, scicomm under pressure (pushing down on me), defence mechanisms of New Yorkers, a cute little shark cafe, Orca families, and the sheer number of piercings you can get with a skeleton that's ALL CARTILAGE BABY!

Also discussed is why sharks are cool punk friends who need our help.
